Seriously, probably at least 65% of applicants have all of these things. You aren't special. Get over yourself - you were missing a trait (or more) which JET valued. Your current employer doesn't consider that trait or has lower standards. End of story.

BS. The majority of people are interested in going to Japan because it's first world country and the pay is good. If China sets up a similar program I wonder how many people would be applying.
65% have experience teaching, let alone specifically teaching English to Japanese people? Where are you getting those stats?
There are so many "slacker" ALTs that are not getting very involved.
When I say command of the language I don't mean the ability to say Konnichiwa. I mean to be able have meaningful conversations with both students and teachers. To be able to teach English to students in Japanese if necessary.

God you're such an ass. It's late, so I'm going to stop even pretending to bring up real points. So here you go

YOU'RE RIGHT
your Japanese is the best of anyone's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
your coworkers and students are in LOVE with you!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Everyone else who is an ALT is a fucking goddamn slacker who can't even bother to get out of bed in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!1111
JET refused to hire you because they are like so racist and totally didn't see your great personality because they are just a fledgling company and don't know what they're looking for.

So those are your points, right? Get a fucking grip. You're not special, you're an ALT. If you were special you'd have a real job.

Except you have no idea, do you? You're only basing this on the fact that you, personally, werent chosen. And you've probably read a few stories on the internet, hand-picking the ones that bolster your opinion and ignoring the ones that contradict you. So you've built up a perception for which you have no real evidence.

I'd say there evidence worth considering has be mentioned in just this very thread.

You have just done what in Japanese they call "hirakinaoru". You didn't really reply to what I posted. You simply just took a really defiant attitude and brushed aside what I said. The things I listed are indeed very important traits.
